A bit about me…
I’m Sophie Clark. Content marketer, content strategist and writer. I’ve spent the last 12 years working with B2B and B2C companies, developing content strategies and telling their stories through online and offline content. From web copy to blogs to events.
I’ve lived and worked internationally which has taught me the importance of understanding the market you’re in and the people you need to cater to. It’s only by understanding the subtle differences of the audience that you can create content that resonates, and ensures the stories stick.
I started my career working in events, creating content programmes for B2B conferences around the world, for industries including petrochemical trading, aviation, food production, hospitality and HR. This gave me experience of quickly getting to grips with the key challenges facing any industry in order to develop content that resonates, and taught me how to quickly adapt to the language and tone of that community to be able to communicate clearly.
My time in conferences also gave me experience in marketing, where content was the product. And, after almost eight years working solely in events, I branched out to work in content strategy and marketing more broadly. This included working with Lexus in Australia (via an agency partner) and in-house at a SaaS brand in Luxembourg.
This evolution of my career has given me hands-on experience of developing not only content as a product, but also creating content for marketing and gaining marketing skills to enable content to have real business impact.
In 2021, I went freelance and have since worked with a number of companies and organisations, mainly in the technology and finance sectors, to help them create content that supports their marketing objectives.
I love learning new things and tackling new challenges and I work with clients across content marketing, content strategy and writing projects. So, if you’re looking for support developing or executing your content strategy, and you like what you’ve heard so far, then get in touch. I’d love to hear from you. Here’s how I can help you…

Content marketing
Content is known to be one of the most effective forms of marketing. In fact, 61% of marketers rank content marketing as one of their most important tactics for engaging prospects, driving leads and revenue, personalising account-based strategies and maintaining buyer-seller relationships. Content marketing takes the focus away from you and puts it on the customer. It informs and builds trust rather than sells directly, and as a result you are much more likely to convert quality leads in the long term.
I can help you create the right content for each stage of your marketing funnel, whether that be a downloadable resource, an event programme, a blog post or web copy.

Content strategy
Many businesses now know that content is an important part of marketing so have focused on ensuring they have lots of it. Pumping out a weekly blog post, a white paper a quarter and a ton of webinars might feel like you’re doing content marketing, but is it actually working? 83% of marketers believe it’s more effective to create higher quality content less often. The key is really understanding what your customers need and when.
Or perhaps you’re at the other end of the spectrum, where you know you should be doing content marketing, but at the moment you have nothing and you don’t know where to begin.
In both scenarios, and all those in between, I can help you create a content strategy that ensures you’re only investing time and money in content that is effective, and in making sure the content you already have is delivering full value.
